THE QUEEN GOING TO SAN RENO.
NEW YORK, Dec. IA London dispatch
TO the World says: A villa at San Reno
has been taken for the Queen, who will go
either in the middle OF next month, or
about the third week of March. Prince
Christian. who left Windsor Sunday even
ing for Berlin, is charged by the Queen
with q private mission On family affairs
to the Emperor William. The Emperor
of Austria will celebrate his jubilee next
December, and there has been much talk
about the court fetes and the gifts which
il was proposed to present to him.
Francis Joseph, however, is Monarch
whose practices and principles differ from
those of our own royal family. 1t has
just been officially announced at Vienna
that it is His Majesty's wish that this an
niversary should not be celebrated by any
pompons display such as the reception OF
Populations and addresses Of homage as
has been suggested by several corpora
lions or by the reception of gifts, but
rather by works of practical benevolence,
which will be more after the Emperor's
own heart.
The illness of the German Crown Prince
has been attributed to the fact that he
rarely has his pipe out of his mouth, and
no doubt his case is being hourly quoted
as warning against the evils of tobacco.
AS a matter of fact, the Crown Prince
never smokes a pipe except when he is
campaigning, and then two pipes a day
have been his usual allow vance. AS a rule
he smokes three mild cigars a day, or
few cigarettes. Few Germans are such
moderate smokers as the Crown Prince
has always been.
GROWTH OF PROTECTION SENTIMENTS.
New York, Dec. 1.-THE Tribune'e
London correspondent cables the follow
ing: The most important piece of English
political news is the visit of Lord RAN
dolph Churchill to Lord Harrington. 1t
is an omen not perhaps of a new political
combination, but of closer alliance be-
tween the different sections of the Union
list coalition. Lord Harrington and Lord
| Randolph Churchill have not been good
friends personally. 1t is now thought
| certain that Lord Randolph Church
| lips return to the ministry can
not be long postponed. Lord Harrington
wants him in office because no other Tory
! does or can replace him. Since last weeks
! conference the lines are being drawn more
| sharply. The Liberal Unionists think
there is little danger TO the Tory party
or themselves from fair trade. No i'm
| portant poll ician has declared for it.
! Lord Randolph Churchill, who was
! looked upon as possible backslider,
shakes hands with Lord Harrington
across gulf wide enough to bury more
] formidable phantoms than fair trade out
| Of sight. Yet discomfort and distress are
| great. The fair trade movement perhaps
! wants only leader. A member of Par
| lament told me yesterday he was elected
as Free Trader, but that neither he nor
4 any body else could again carry his coun-
! ty except "a Protectionist. Farmers
! and tradesm an alike had gone over to ia +
| trade.
| DE-. MACKENZIE CONFIRMED.
| LONDON, Dec. 15.--The hastv summon
ing of DR.. Mackenzie to San Reno to at
| tend the Crown Prince confirms that ex-
I rert's original diagnosis of the patients
malady which led the physician to assert
/ that Fritz's recent exuberance of spirits
and freedom from discomfort was simply
! phase of his disease and recruidscence
| of the violent and alarming symptoms
| which certain to come sooner
or later. No one can deny that
the present cri sis bears out the Doctors
assertions, and all are now inclined to ac-
cept his further statement that this may
pass away, leaving the patients condi-
| ton as apparently hopeful as it was a
week ago, but only to return again with
| increased signs of fatal result. The an
noun cement from San Reno yesterday
that DR.. MackenZie's apartments had been
| given up, indicated that the patients
condition was very much improved, and
! it is now evident that the rooms were
! given up and the hopeful dispatch sent
| out without Mackenzie's authority.
! POLITICAL AND MILITARY.
| LONDON, Dec. 14-The Partisan press
! has taken more interest than usual in the
remarks of the leading American papers
concerning the change in the presidency
/ ~
! complacency the cOngratulatorv tone
| adopted by the opponents of opinion in
their sister republic, and at the same time

matters SO intelligently discussed While
it goes without saying that Nj. Carnots
election was as complete q surprise
in all the capitals of Europe
! as ever was caused by anv
political event, it may also be imagined

| Carnots selection possible. was bitterly
opposed by his daughter, and Nine. VIII

a tone of mild satisfaction has character.
lied the utteraaces of the German press
at his elevation, the battled promoters of
disturbance-.he outs who wish to

before. Whether the famous forged
documents were really concocted
by the Orleanists, trick of the Berlin
stock jobber, or one OF the German Chan
cellor's characteristic maneuvers, the d;s-
turbance they created proves how little it
would take to plunge Europe into war.
